Reel Player - Video Player

A media-server video player with Emby access, subtitle tools, network downloads and an advertised broad range of formats.

Our take

Consider for playing a personally managed video library

Server browsing, subtitles and multiple audio tracks combine library access with playback controls.

Keep in mind: Codec, HDR and connector claims require testing with actual files and hardware; the app does not establish rights to streaming movies or supply a licensed catalog.

What you can do

  • Browse compatible media servers and network files
  • Select audio tracks and use local or OpenSubtitles subtitles
  • Use Picture in Picture and playback gestures
  • Access the described OneDrive support and downloads

Good for

  • Users with their own lawful media files and a compatible server or cloud account.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting a commercial film subscription or guaranteed support for every listed encoding combination.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 12.0.
  • Codec, HDR and connector claims require testing with actual files and hardware; the app does not establish rights to streaming movies or supply a licensed catalog.

Privacy & permissions

Server credentials, cloud permissions, subtitle downloads and optional Trakt history involve other services and viewing information.
